Me

 * I wholly embrace the idea of using the Internet to present a high-quality, free-of-charge encyclopedia to the public at large. It's really too bad that Wikipedia does not!
 * Contributing since –   6 August 2006.

Articles, pages, lists

 * Among all the untold hundreds of articles I've ever worked on, my favorite two are Bengal famine of 1943 and Children of the Stars. The former, alas, led me to see that Wikipedia is a toy project.
 * I am also proud of User:Lingzhi/reviewsourcecheck.js, as explained on User:Lingzhi/reviewsourcecheck.
 * I am privileged to have had the opportunity to collaborate with other editors on six featured articles; search WP:WBFAN for the list (five under the username Ling.Nut, and one under Lingzhi).
 * Articles Created: I've created a modest number of articles in mainspace, such as the aforementioned Children of the Stars, plus Wolf Ladejinsky and William E. Harmon Foundation Award for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes and the associated list of winners
 * Lists Created: I spent a nontrivial amount of time creating some lists, including large lists of endangered languages:
 * List of American Civil War battles. OK, I'm cheating. I didn't create this one. But I put a large amount of effort into it.
 * List of endangered languages in South America
 * ...this and other lists later needed spin-off lists for individual countries, such as Brazil
 * List of endangered languages in Africa
 * List of endangered languages in Central America
 * List of endangered languages in North America
 * List of endangered languages in Asia
 * List of endangered languages of the Pacific
 * List of endangered languages in Europe
 * Other: Things I've created or started that are not in mainspace include:
 * Harvard citation template examples
 * WikiProject Endangered languages.
 * WikiProject Three Kingdoms.
 * various and sundry other things 'n stuff sprinkled here & there, some of which I've forgotten...

Images created

 * Some of the more popular images that I created are below. For others, see commons:User:Ling.Nut:
